Description Eric Olinger 2003-07-11 21:08:58 UTC
First problem is probably a work in progress thing, but there is
no doataraid kernel to match the doatatraid isolinux boot option.

Second there is no md binary that is required by mkraid to run.
Which makes in impossible to install Gentoo on a raid partition 
from the beginning. I had the same issue with 1.4_rc2 also.  

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.boot live cd 
2.run 'mkraid --help'

Actual Results:  
cannot determine md version: No such file or directory

the option is "gentoo doataraid" which will try to load hardware raid 
modules, if your just using software raid, you need to load 
the specific md modules. It has been reported to work 
by many in -rc4.

The error was on my part.
